Anita Clara Rée (born 9 February 1885 in Hamburg, died 12 December 1933 in Kampen) was a German avant-garde painter during the Weimar Republic.

Born into an old Jewish family of Hamburg merchants who traded in goods from India, she was the daughter of Israel Rée and Clara, née Hahn.

[3] In 1906, she met Max Liebermann, who recognized her talent and encouraged her to continue her artistic career.

In 1937, the Nazis designated Rée's work as "Degenerate art" and began purging it from museum collections.

[5] Wilhelm Werner, a groundskeeper at the Kunsthalle Hamburg preserved many of Rée's paintings by hiding them in his apartment.
